virtues of Christ’s character. Humility is a precious<br />

grace, peculiarly pleasing to God. Christ says,<br />

“Learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart:<br />

and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” Matthew<br />

11:29. Those who follow Christ will overcome<br />

temptati<strong>on</strong> and will receive the glorious reward of<br />

eternal life. And to Christ they will render all the<br />

praise and glory.<br />
